The Karearea Talon has been my favourite frame for many months now and I've grown accustomed to the really high quality components (durability, fit and finish) so purchasing this was bit of a no brainer for me.

I've actually had it for a few weeks now but the first build I was using ZMX FinX23 2205 / 2600kv motors but I had always intended to run the Karearea TOA motors when they became available. Due to a delay in the motor release (the owner trying to source Japanese manufactured EZO bearings, not the bearings manufactured off shore) the initial build was more of a rush job than one I would normally do. The motors are now in and so I have done a more complete finalised build, however there will be some changes coming in the form of new FC and VTX and changing the vertical uprights for a 3D printed pod.

This is also kind of a first for these motors as they are untested, but given Karearea's propensity for perfection I decided these would be the motors I went for one this frame. They are certainly not cheap at $32USD each, but again, knowing how Karearea does things was a big influence in my decision to go with the TOAs. These are the 2306 / 2650kv GunMetal variant, but all TOA motors utilise a 4mm TC4 Titanium shaft, EZO 4x9x4 ABEC 7 Japanese bearings, 7075 Aluminium with hard anodising and a 0.1mm airgap.
